Today's content creator is;
Q GAMING ENTERTAINMENT
Due to difference in timezone, we only conducted a chat-interview with Q.
He has two channels, and this is the first channel. We will discuss and focus on this one and have a separate blog for his second channel.
START!
Jessi: What is the name of your channel?
Q: ❝My individual channel is called Q Gaming Entertainment although I'm thinking of rebranding soon but I'm not completely sure yet.❞
Jessi: I feel the same actually about rebranding. Because I am not entirely about games anymore. Anyway lol, thank you.
Q: ❝Yea you've done a lot of other things besides gaming so I'm surprised you haven't changed your name yet. I was thinking of rebranding mainly because I wanted to have my channel mainly be about games I love like Resident Evil and Mass Effect.❞
Jessi: Moving on. Tell us about your channel. What is it about?
Q: ❝Q Gaming Entertainment at first was just a generic gaming channel. I played all types of games like CoD, Resident Evil, Path of Exile, I even did some mobile games. I didn't know what niche other than just gaming to do, but recently I have decided to play games that were some of my favorite from my childhood to adulthood. So I'm currently going through all the Resident Evil games. I'm planning to go through the Mass Effect series, Metal Gear Solid if it ever comes to PC, the Walking Dead Telltale Series, and some others. I'm having a bit of issues with my pc crashing when I stream so I'm holding out streams until I can figure out why it's doing that.
I will still be playing other new games and at least trying them out and maybe doing a series on them if I like them enough and if the audience likes them enough.❞
Jessi: When did you start your channel?
Q: ❝QGE (Q Gaming Entertainment) got started in November of 2018. It was around the same time Death Stranding came out and that was the first series I ever did on my channel, but it's no longer there.❞
Jessi: What made you start your channel? Did anyone inspire you or you just thought about it one day?
Q: ❝I've always loved gaming ever since I was a child. I remember being a young boy and playing Metal Gear Solid on ps1 over and over. Or playing Banjo Kazooie and Crash Bandicoot on N64/PS1 or WWE No Mercy on N64. And ever since then I haven't stopped gaming nor has my love died. Funny thing is I don't think I started watching YouTube until 2018 or late 2017. So I don't think any particular person inspired me to do YouTube but I have always enjoyed that idea of playing games as a job because it's one of the few things I genuinely love doing and would do it without someone paying me to do it. I also thought it would be cool to post me playing a game and people enjoying it enough to watch it and interact with me. Annnnndddd I hoped I'd be able to find other people to game with.❞
Jessi: Who is/are your favorite YouTubers? (any person with 0 subs up to 101M is a content creator, right?)
Q: ❝It might not be a very popular answer but I don't watch a lot of different people. It's not that I don't like other channels but more so I usually watch all the videos of those I am subscribed to and don't look out for other people's channels much. If I find other people I like then I would subscribe to them and watch all there content. So I guess if I had to choose I would say MrBeast is my favorite channel because he does a lot of good for people in majority of his videos. But some channels I watch a lot of is 3 channels that do ghost videos: Nuke's Top 5, Slapped Ham, and King Frostmare, I watch wrestling sometimes but I can't watch the tv shows 'cus I don't have cable so for info on the shows I watch WhatCulture Wrestling, then I watch a guy named Mista GG who does a variety of things with his several different channels, one for gaming and another for things like movie reviews and other random things. Oh I also watch the Angry Joe Show for things gaming. I found this channel recently while searching for games to play that allow you to create your own stories, he was reviewing a game called dwarf fortress I think and his channel is called like Sseth Tzeentach. I found this guy funny and I've been watching a lot of his videos lately.❞
Jessi: In the scale of 1 to 10, how proud are you of your channel all-in-all?
Q: ❝So I would probably say 5 for my channel. I think the art is good since I didn't make it myself lol. As far as editing goes I think I'm decent at it. There's still things I need to learn lots of things actually, but I think my videos can be watchable. The reason I give myself a half score is mainly because my schedule is close to non-existent. I've had to change my schedule several times due to my personal life with work and such so as of now I can't release a lot and I wish I could do more. Then I still feel there's improvement to be made to my commentary like trying to be funny. I still struggle with that. But I really just need exposure and for my videos to reach others. There's an audience out there for everyone I believe no matter if it's 1k people or 1M people.❞
Jessi: Is there a story behind the scenes of the creation of your channel? How is the growth of your channel? Are you happy with the pace? Impatient? Is it too slow, too fast or just about right? What do you think?
Q: ❝Well I won't lie and say being a big youtuber isn't something I'm concerned with. BUT I have had a change in perspective I guess you could say. At first I was all about trying to get more subs and views but now I'm more laid back because before it was more frustrating and demoralizing to see low views or no sub gain. Now I am just trying to put out good content and hope that in time if my content is worthy and good enough that I will reach the big leagues. That doesn't mean I don't try to find ways to get my content out into the world though. I'm always keeping and eye and ear out to try to get more exposure because I think most people care about how many views or subs someone has before they watch a video. If they see someone with a low view count they would normally skip thinking the content is not good so if I can get more people to see my channel maybe I'll slowly get more views which will hopefully snowball into more and more.❞
Jessi: How do you feel about your first set of videos compared to the ones you are doing at present? Improved? Cringe? Still the same?
Q: ❝I've never been camera shy unless it involves acting or dancing lol. So when it came to speaking on video I was totally fine. My audio was pretty bad though because I didn't know how to make the audio nice and crisp. So overall it was an improvement.❞
Jessi: Do you feel like deleting the bad videos?
Q: ❝I have deleted a lot of my early videos because I did switch to PC gaming from the PS4 and because some of the videos were bad.❞
Jessi: What is your favorite video and why?
Q: ❝I like this montage type video I did on Ghost of Tsushima. It was pretty short like 5 minutes I think but I put a lot of music in it. It's far from my best work I'm sure I'll make better later but for now that's the best I think.❞
Jessi: What is the most viewed video on your channel and why do you think so?
Q: ❝So with my channel it's the first video on the Spider-man game. I'm not sure why that video has the most honestly.❞
Jessi: Is there a video that you were proud to do but it ended up with less views and attention than you thought? Can you tell us more about it?
Q: ❝Not really. I don't really go into my videos thinking they are gonna take off. I usually just post it, hope it does well, and let whatever happens happen.❞
Jessi: How do you manage your schedule when you record videos or livestream? Everyone has a job and real life things to do. How do you manage?
Q: ❝Yea I hope so. I manage by not managing at all lol. Seriously though I just try to record when I can. I haven't released a video in a couple weeks because I've had a pretty hectic couple weeks. I just rescued a stray dog the week after I finished the last series I did. That was a week of craziness. And then I've been busy trying to go back to school and doing stuff for OGXL.❞
Q: ❝You would really need to be subbed to both my channels if you really enjoy my personality and want more of it because there's not enough time in the day for me to work and do stuff for both channels everyday. And once I go back to school it'll be much less unfortunately for a little while. The best way to see what's going on with the channel is to follow the social media stuff for both channels. Fb especially for OGXL because I'm in charge of that while the other 2 each have 1 social media they are responsible for.❞
Q: ❝Yea that's one reason I want to be monetized and make enough to support myself so I can dedicate more time to content creating.❞
Jessi: Which content creator/s do you enjoy collabing with or want to collab with?
Q: ❝I haven't had a chance to play with a whole bunch of people but the 2 members of OGXL, Tiffalicious Gaming and MastiffHQ, I enjoy playing with. I do want a few more people to play with and create this tight knit group of content creators but it's really hard to find people to play with. As for who do I want to collab with? I don't really know. There's people I like but I need to feel a connection between us to collab. I don't want to be boring to people when we game so it's all about getting to know each other before I can say for certain who I wanna collab with.❞
Jessi: Is there anything else that you want to share that is not YouTube? Website, social media, etc.?
Q: ❝This is the best place to see what's going on with the channels until we get 1k subs so we can get the community tab.❞

Jessi: What is your message to your viewers/our readers?
Q: ❝Hmmm. Well if you read this entire blog then first I wanna say thank you. Hopefully I kept you somewhat entertained. I know this was a long read especially for someone you don't know so I wanna share my gratitude about that. If you check out my channels I hope you enjoy what you find. It's hard being a new youtuber in a sea of already established content creators so I greatly appreciate the chance everyone gives me when they click on a video of mine. Thank you again everyone for giving me the time to share my experience and my channel and thank you Jessi for allowing me to do this on your blog.❞
